Reid, Director of Physical Fitness presided and following the banquet gave a brief address of welcome to the mem- bers of the team as well as to the special guests and offered his con- gratulations to the re-organized Victoria Club. He congratulated the Victoria team for their splendid showing this year and wished them every success for the future.

Father George MacDonald of Saint Dun- Stan's University, Professor Gordon Bennett of Prince of Wales College, C. P. “Chick" Williams, Byron Brown, president oi the Victoria Club, Wes “Bucko" Trainor, P. W. Turner, W. G. Gillespie, Arthur Perry, coach of the Victoria hoc- key team, and the Hon. Frank R. Heartz, honorary president of the Victoria Club.

All the various speakers, in their own particular way, offered their congratulations to the fine little band of Juvenile pucksters, who, surmounting all odds, battled their way to the City, Island and N.

The Victoria Club, too, received unanimous congratul- ations for their I‘€-Of‘g3l'llZl1tlOl’l_BB an active athletic club in this City. and received the heartfelt support of all for a highly successful future in their forthcoming athletic en- deavours, as well as receiving many bouquets for their fine reputation as an athletic club in the past.

Following fills, the Percy Turner Trophy, emblematic of Juvenile hockey supremacy in the City, was presented bv Mr. Turner in person to Joseph Cuyle. captain of the Victoria hockey team.

Another prizer “resentation was also made to each member of the team, in the form of framed team photographs, which were donated through the kindness of Messrs. W. G. Gillespie and Ed. Garnhum, with the Hon Frank R. l-ieartz making the presentation.

Brig- adier Reid said that he felt person- ally that it would be a sound move for the betterment of the sport generally, but that he was only passing on the proposal to the Clubs here on behalf of Sununer- sidc officials, who are desiring of seeing such a junior league form- ed.

More local baseball news and views will no doubt come to the fore tonight when both the City Baseball League and Junior Base- ball League will hold their annual

meetings at the Charlottetown Armouries and formulate ~thcir plans for the forthcoming season. The City League meeting will get underway at seven o'clock and the Junior gathering at 8:30. O I U

In connection with the Junior meeting, no doubt one point which will be brought up will be in con- nection with the annou cement made by Brigadier W. W. Reid at the Juvenile Victoria hockey team banquet at the Queen Hotel last night, concerning a recent proposal made by Summerside baseball oi- ficials at a meeting there recent-

one

The proposal made by Summer- side was that they wished to see the formation of an Island Junior Baseball League to play for the Island title, and asked ‘Brigadier Reid to bring it up before baseball officials in Charlottetown for their consideration. O I 0 From this columns point of view, the proposal seems to be a feasible one, and one that could have great possibilities of furthering the keen competition here in Junior ranks, and doing much towards the de- velopment oi Junior players in the Province. However, just what act- ion will be taken here, or Just how_ much the Junior set-up here will allow such a league, is for those in control to decide. It is safe in saying, however, if local officials feel it will be an asset, and will be in a position to take part in such a league, it can be depended that the, proposal will be given their fullest support and consider- atlon.

“Borne of the Toronto writers like Ted Reeve, Ralph Allen and Joe Pei-love, seem inclined to think that any resemblance between the Maple Leaf team that won the Stanley Cup and the one that fin- ished in fourth place, is purely co- incidental," opincs Bu: (Daily Sta/r) UMeara. _

"Some of the others seem to think that there is no reason why they can't go on to win two or three more Stanley Cup victories in a row. conule sniyme is c1- ready planning some moves for next year waiting for some un- wary manager to talk trade with blm.

Sport Echoes From Prince Bounty

Congratulations to the two sports-minded citizens of Kanslng- ton who have offered to pay the salary of a lull-time recreational director for the youth of Kenslng- ton for the period of one year. We iefer to George Brookins and Reg Holman who are certainly showing themselves to be pioneers in a new movement in Prince Edward Island which is coming ahead with leaps and bounds. The progressive little town of laensinglon has never tak- en a back seat to any centre when lt came‘ to looking after their youth from the standpoint of recreation- al activities They had pee-wee hockey players getting their regular practices at the Kensington Rink scme time before the "Physical Fitness" program was organized and pee-wees and paperweignte came into their own in the larger centres. The small fry also played in organized softball leagues quite u. number of years ago. The rapid strides they have made in the past few years, however, surpasses any- thing they had done before along these lines, and thanks to a group of citizens who appreciate the value of sports activities for their young- sters. they are now abreast, if not ahead of the larger centres in their efforts for the welfare of youth. Messrs. Brooklns and Holman have lecl the way. Their action may look like throwing money away to some near-sighted people who forget that you can't take it with you, bu-i. give them satisfaction throughthc years, Who will be the next’!

A meeting wag held in Sunni-ter- side Wednesday evening (with Brigadier Bill Reid and An Perry from Charlottetown in attendance) for the purpose of organizing an athletic association in the town. The director of "Physical Fitness". who has a reputation for getting things done. certainly brought out the best representation from our citizens that has been seen at a sports meeting in Summerslde fir a long time. Member; of the Kinc- men, Y's Men, Rotarians, our two local MLAJs, as well u a. large gathering of other citizens. ware present. If this gathering in a criterion of what will be accomp- lished in the proposed new associ- ation we have every reason to be optimistic about futm-e mulls. ‘rho new let-up should certainly prove l. boon to the younger athletes of the town, c4 it is pinned in pro- vide organised leagues for them in baseball. as well as hockey, and also to encourage their participat- ion in truck and ficld sports,
